When Ruan Sanniang was about to touch the fourth prince of porcelain, Ruan Xi's foot injury finally healed.
"Miss, it really doesn't hurt anymore?" Suyu massaged Ruan Xi's ankle with moderate strength and was very comfortable.
In the past few days, Suyu Suzhu took turns to massage Ruan Xi's ankles.
Ruan Xi smiled slightly. She glanced at her small, white feet, secretly thanking that this dynasty did not have the habit of binding feet. If they were not faced with a pair of three-inch golden lotus, Ruan Xi wondered if she could accept it.
"In fact, it didn't hurt in the first two days, but Big Brother Ting Zhou was worried, so he had to put on the plaster for two more days."
Having been on the soft couch these days, Ruan Xi is going to be bored, and now he can finally walk on the bed, and the corners of Ruan Xi’s eyebrows are dyed with joy.
"Miss, Master Wen cares about you."
Suyu smiled and said, only then did she really let go of worry and continued to massage the lady.
"I know, so I put on the plaster for two more days."
Ruan Xi leaned comfortably on the soft pillow, smiling at the corners of her lips.
Suzhu walked in with joy and put the land deed on the low table on the soft couch.
"Miss, the things you have explained are done. This is the land lease. I bought four shops and ten large villagers. The location of the four shops is more prosperous, and the money spent is a bit more. The ten large villagers all bring their own In the mountains, a big Zhuangzi also brought a big lake..." Suzhu introduced the situation of Zhuangzi one by one.
Ruan Xi looked at the land deeds one by one and was very satisfied. Now she is also a landowner.
She also bought Zhuangzi for self-sufficiency and raised ducks by the way. The business of the braised duck shop is booming, and her money will only increase, and she can start to buy a dowry slowly.
Ruan Sanniang's entry into the palace as a concubine is a matter of cutting board. I don't know if Ruan Sanniang will open his mouth and ask for a generous dowry.
Ruan Yuwen is not young, and his marriage will be on the agenda.
Although the Sincerity Bofu does not have to worry about food and clothing, it also has a lot of business, but the daily expenses are also large, and her dowry must not be shabby. In this way, the Bofu is afraid that most of it will be empty.
Ruan Xi's selling braised ducks at sky-high prices does not mean to take precautions. The richer the dowry, the more confident she is in the Wen family.
Seeing the young lady happy, Suyu Suzhu was also happy. The lady earned a large share of private property by relying on the braised duck shop, and she will not worry about having a good life in the future.
Ruan Xi collected the land deed and watched the drizzle outside his eyes. In the past few days, it always rained from time to time, and the previously sultry weather turned cooler.
"Suyu, go and get some travel notes."
Suyu brought a few travel notes and couldn't help asking.
"Miss, you don't copy the scriptures today?"
The young lady would copy the Huayan Sutra these few days, and Suyu was a little dazed to read the travel notes today.
Ruan Xi shook his head while reading the travel notes: "Relax today."
These days when her ankle was injured, she was actually not idle. The daily arrangements were very fulfilling.
Now she wants to read the travel notes to relax her mind and combine work and rest.
Suzhu went to the small kitchen to wash some clean fruits and brought them, and also served snacks.
The whole morning passed, Ruan Xi had been studying a travel notebook, and the smile on his face became more and more joyous.
Suyu and Suzhu are very strange when they see this.
This Miss Zhang Liang's Travel Notes read it over and over several times.
"Miss, the servant girl heard that Zhang Liang’s travel notes were written by an arty traveler. What he wrote is not credible, and many of them are exaggerated. If it weren’t for the bookstore in his house, it’s still a question whether this travel note can be published. Not many people buy it after it's out, and it's left in the bookstore to accumulate dust."
"It's just that this traveling merchant likes publishing books very much and doesn't care about losing money."
Su Zhu was afraid that the young lady would have believed the messy things written in "Zhang Liang's Travel Notes", so he hurriedly opened up the details of Zhang Liang, the traveling merchant.
The corner of Ruan Xi's mouth was slightly raised.
"Well, don't worry, I know it in my heart."
I really didn't expect that this traveler named Zhang Liang would have seen corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes and other high-yielding crops overseas. The description in the travel notes is indeed a bit exaggerated, but it is true that it is unsustainable.
She originally wanted to pass the time, but she was suddenly hit by this big surprise. She wondered if Ruan Sanniang would send someone to find high-yield crops like in the book. Now that she saw this travel blog, Ruan Xi did not I will treat it as if I didn't see it.
When Wen Tingzhou arrived, he asked him to find the traveling merchant named Zhang Liang to get back the high-yield crops.
Wen Tingzhou came over at noon as before. Seeing Ruan Ruan happily welcoming him at the door of the house, a gentle smile appeared on the corner of Wen Tingzhou's lips and strode to her side.
"Ruan Ruan, is your foot hurt?"
"Well, okay, Brother Tingzhou, you come in and I have something to tell you." Ruan Xi couldn't wait to take Wen Tingzhou's hand into the hall.
The neglected Zhang Qingshu followed in.
Wen Tingzhou looked at the held hand, and the smile on his lips deepened.
Waiting for Wen Tingzhou to sit down, Ruan Xi quickly took the travel note and handed it to him, looking at him expectantly: "Brother Tingzhou, look at this travel note. There are several edible crops in it. I am very impressed. Interest, Brother Tingzhou, send someone to get these three crops back."
Suyu Suzhu almost didn't cover his face.
The young lady actually believed Zhang Liang's travel notes written by a merchant.
"Let me take a look." Wen Tingzhou raised his eyebrows. Seeing Ruan Ruan's expectation, he suddenly became interested, and looked at the travel notes that Ruan Xi handed over.
"Brother Tingzhou, here, look here first." Ruan Xi sat beside Wen Tingzhou, watching him slowly flipping through the travel notes, and quickly turned to the page she folded up.
Wen Tingzhou smiled and nodded: "Okay."
From this look, Wen Tingzhou's handsome face gradually became serious. What he valued was the kind of crop called sweet potato. This kind of crop could be planted on barren wasteland without picking up the land, and the yield did not seem to be low.
Although the description of the travel notes is a bit exaggerated, Wen Tingzhou feels that he can get it back and try it out.
If it is true, there will be three more foods that can fill the stomach, which is also a great joy for the people.
"Ruan Ruan, I will send someone to find Zhang Liang when I go back. Maybe he has these kinds of crops."
Ruan Xi was very happy.
She knew that Wen Tingzhou would believe what was written in the travel notes.
Suyu Suzhu: "..."
Mr. Wen is too fond of Miss.
This time, under Ruan Xi's urging, Wen Tingzhou did not stay in Chengxin Garden much, but hugged Ruan Xi severely before leaving.
After Ruan Xi recovered from his foot injury, Wen Tingzhou could no longer meet Ruan Xi under the guise of visiting. This time, he hugged enough.
After Wen Tingzhou left, Ruan Xi was lost. He didn't know when to meet next time.
However, her sadness did not last long. A woman came in and reported that the marinade in the braised duck shop was not enough. Ruan Xi went to the small kitchen and boiled a large pot of marinade.
The rich scent of the marinade filled once again, and the servants of the Bofu were made unintentional by the scent.
Ruan Sanniang gritted his teeth even more, the fourth sister, a guy who has gone through shit.
Smelling this alluring scent, Ruan Sanniang swallowed, she endured it, and finally couldn't help going to Chengxinyuan again.
Ruan Xi had just changed his clothes when he saw Ruan Sanniang who broke in again, his eyebrows were slightly twisted.
"I want to eat braised duck, Sister Si, get a braised duck soon." Ruan Sanniang said unceremoniously.
The two of them had their faces torn apart, and Ruan Sanniang didn't come up with anything, and asked straightforwardly.
"No, if you want to eat, go and buy it in line." Ruan Xi smiled at what Ruan Sanniang should be.
No one is so thick-skinned.
It is a pity that Ruan Xi is not used to her.
"You actually want me to spend a hundred taels of silver to buy a braised duck from you. You are crazy about the money." Ruan Sanniang stared at Ruan Xi viciously.
"Yeah, who told me to be poor." Ruan Xi looked at Ruan Sanniang with a smile.
Ruan Sanniang was so angry that she threatened: "Even your sister will cost a hundred taels of silver to eat a braised duck. Are you afraid that I will spread this out?"
Ruan Xi said nonchalantly: "It's up to you."
Ruan Sanniang's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot for an instant, and she was trembling with anger. Finally, seeing that she couldn't find the braised duck, she rushed away with anger.
Suyu worried: "Miss, aren't you afraid of rumors about the third lady?"
Ruan Xi's lips curled up: "What's scary? There are dozens of rumors about me in the capital. There are more rumors that are messy and untrustworthy, and fewer people believe."
Besides, Ruan Sanniang's reputation is so bad now that it is not so easy to redeem. She doesn't seem to have any intention to redeem Ruan Sanniang.
Suyu thought about it, so she no longer struggled.
Ruan Sanniang rushed out of Chengxinyuan angrily. The gluttons in her stomach hadn't subsided. She hadn't eaten braised duck for a long time. She was really greedy. Ruan Sanniang gritted her teeth and decided to go to the main courtyard to find Zhang who hurt her.
In the end, Ruan Sanniang still didn't eat the braised duck, so she could only send someone to queue to buy it secretly.
Having not bought it for five consecutive days, Ruan Sanniang almost vomited blood, and finally had no choice but to give up.
She has more important things to do-the four princes of Pengci.
It is a pity that she planned very well, but underestimated the female guards around her, underestimated the importance the old emperor attached to her.
She just went to visit Mu Qingci at the Fourth Prince’s Mansion. Although she ran into a wall and did not see anyone, such a small act, coupled with the words overheard by the female guard when she fell in the house, the old emperor guessed To her intention.
The old emperor was angry and quickly issued an imperial decree for the concubine.
Ruan Xi didn't know Ruan Sanniang's private actions, she was reading Wen Tingzhou's letter.
Sure enough, as she expected, the traveling merchant named Zhang Liang really had three crops of sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn in his family, but they were not in large quantities, and they were all used as seeds.
Not only that, but also the method of planting. Ruan Xi was very happy after seeing it.
When Ruan Xi was about to write a reply to Wen Tingzhou, Su Zhu hurried in.
"Miss, there is someone from the palace, madam, please come to the hall to receive your order."
Ruan Xi was taken aback, and then thought of what Wen Tingzhou had said to her. This imperial edict was probably Ruan Sanniang's imperial concubine.
She tidied up her appearance and took Suyu Suzhu to the main courtyard.
At this time, the courtyard was crowded with people, and a white-faced father-in-law was standing with the imperial edict in his hand, and a group of forbidden troops followed.
Old lady, Zhang family, Ruan Yuwen, Ruan Sanniang who looked wrong...
The strange thing is that today is not the day for Xiu Mu. Ruan Xi saw that her uncle was there, she couldn't help being a little surprised. At this time, Bo Chengyi saw Ruan Xi coming and bowed to the father-in-law who was holding the imperial edict.
"Grandpa Liu, everyone is here, please read the imperial edict."
Gonggong Liu nodded.
Everyone knelt down to take the order.
As Ruan Xi expected, this is an imperial decree for the concubine, which probably means that Ruan Sanniang invented movable type printing, and the emperor rejoiced, especially named Ruan Sanniang as Ruan.
Except for Ruan Xi, everyone present was stunned.
A gloomy flash of Zhang's eyes.
The moment Ruan Sanniang heard the imperial decree of the concubine, qi and blood surged and fainted, the beads on his head rolled to the ground, making a crisp sound.
Ruan Xi: "..."
The old lady and Uncle Sincere were originally very happy that Ruan Sanniang was named a consort, but Ruan Sanniang suddenly fainted.
The two of them were pale, startled and angry, and wanted to wake Ruan Sanniang and lose his courtesy. The emperor knew that he didn't know how to punish him.
The old lady quickly put on a happy smile, opened her eyes and said nonsense.
"Grandpa Liu, Sanniang fainted with excitement when he heard that he was about to enter the palace as a concubine."
Ruan Xi: "..."
